Last night, over a fabulous dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in South Beach (DeVito's), I looked at Todd and said, "It's been a long year." In the last 12 months, we've had so much bad news. Cancer, cancer, cancer. Blah, blah, blah. We both agreed, it's time to move forward.
So, earlier in the day, mom and dad called after a check-up at Cleveland Clinic. The word for the day: REMISSION! It's the best news we've had in over 12 months. The heart is good, the blood cancer is in control. Life is back on track. Theirs and ours!
We ordered an extra glass of wine and raised a glass: "L'chaim!" ...to life!
About Me
- carla
- I started this blog a few years back when I was undergoing treatment for some nodules that had grown on my vocal cords. At that time, it was, quite literally, about me finding my voice. Medically, I did. In the mean time, my "Slice of Life" has turned into a whole other "voice" for me. Whether it's sharing a favorite recipie, documenting a family memory, fighting back about cancer and disease, or just finding joy in life's simple moments, this little column has given me a whole new voice -- one that I'm happy to share with anyone who stumbles upon these musings. ABOUT ME: I'm a corporate management consultant by day. That means I do (mostly) leadership training, teambuilding and coaching in large companies and organizations. You can learn more about my business by visiting www.AnnexLearning.com. I also own a retail accessories business. A few years back, I got interested in playing with beads and started making hair jewelry. That evolved to a number of different products that now make up 121 Collection, my accessories line. Curious about the name? 121 (Jan. 21) is my birthday! Visit our store at www.121Collection.com .
